Path of Folly - O'Brother

So did you care to speak your mind

Cause I’d be more than obliged

I’ve got a bone worth picking

We’ll take it all in calculated strides

Little by little

Down the path of folly

Fueled by this overwhelming desire

I need to be needed

But I only need it when you’re not being so needy

All my efforts lie

Lost in the line of time

All my efforts lie

Lost in the line of time

It’s the existential paradox of life

That our survival relies on

Our temporary nature of design

And our failure to realize

You’ll never get it but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try

I wanted peace of mind

But progress thrives

On opposition

Caught in the paradox of life

Where living is dying

And I just want to live as if I were dying

Try as you will but you’re never gonna be what you want

Always the insignificant mind of the brink of dissolve

Too little too late, always one step behind

It’s the existential paradox of life

That our survival relies on

Our temporary nature of design

And our failure to realize

So take what you want at the expense of your demise
